If a Support refuses to buy a sight stone (or ward in general), constantly pushes lane, and takes CS, what is the best work around as an ADC? Should I invest in the sight stone myself and just try to get the CS that I can? Or should I just let the Support take half the CS and try to get them fed (this usually happens when its some kind of AP support, Nid, Sona, etc).

Just curious what the best way to work with a support like this is. I usually try to just adapt to how my team mates are playing, but I find myself extremely behind in this situation so I'm curious what I can do to make things go better for everyone as an ADC. Thanks.

Buy 1 ward, if you're on blue side, ward the brush in the river, if you're on red, ward the tribrush, then push with your support and take the tower ASAP. After you take it, roam mid and take that tower. There's very little point to fighting for cs and if your support is pushing the lane and not letting you farm, you need to take towers and group early instead to make up for the lost gold income. Look for opportunities to take dragon as well while you're mid, and be sure to let your jungler know of your intentions so he's ready to help you at mid or at dragon.

First off, communication is key. Make yourself out to be kind towards them, thank them for helping and politely ask them to stop taking CS/Kills and pick up a sightstone. If they refuse, I'd suggest buying a pink and two vision wards every here or there, but there's no need to waste an item slot on sightstone. Lastly if the support refuses to communicate with the team, report them afterwards and move on. If this is a pattern that happens literally every game, maybe you step up and call support yourself to get the job done, or call a different lane. But that's really all the advice I can provide
